By lunchtime at a northern Virginia high school, the hallway outside the cafeteria buzzed with students finishing homework, joking with friends and playing video games. Off to the side, Tech Sgt. Omar Herrera, an Air Force recruiter, had arranged his table with the standard fare of glossy brochures, foam model fighter jets and Air and Space Force-branded water bottles students could earn with a round of pushups. The scene was strikingly low-key, almost at odds with the life-altering decision many of the teenagers wandering past his table were weighing.

All states require certain vaccines for children entering public school, but more parents are claiming religious examption from vaccination. During the 2025-26 school year, 4.2% of kindergarteners, about 155,000 pupils, had at least one vaccine exemption, up from 3.6% the previous school year. The vast majority of those exemptions were labeled as "non-medical," meaning that parents or caregivers were opting out of the shots for personal or religious, rather than health, reasons. Medical exemptions remained stable at .2%.

Senator Jon Ossoff criticized President Donald Trump's relationship with his aide Natalie Harp during a rally on Sunday, accusing him of preferring to "travel with Natalie" than performing his job. The Democratic Senator was discussing the duration of U.S. Navy sailors' deployments on aircraft carriers this year when he launched a sharp attack against Trump. "While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings," Ossoff said. "He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn't want to do the job; he wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie to their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar."


Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly advocated for killing "30 to 40" people in Gaza each night. Ben-Gvir -- who can't wait to see young Palestinian convicts executed in Israeli Death Forces (IDF) concentration camps -- criticized the recent drawdown of homicidal airstrikes in Gaza. "It's no secret, I disagree with the prime minister," the blood-thirsty minister brayed. "I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat -- here are people who are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live. They're not even people."

Itamar Ben-Gvir is obviously not a good human being


Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) stated he has heard "absolutely nothing back" from Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) after requesting updates on the senator's condition. Beshear says while he wishes McConnell "good health," the US senator should address the public directly: "His boss are the people of Kentucky."

I want to talk about The Antichrist Who Shall Not Be Named.

And by that I mean channels such as mine who talk about the person who lines up with the biblical Antichrist are in my opinion being suppressed. I say that because despite repeated attempts to promote my videos, I keep getting the message that these are election advertising.

And I've been getting this message for over 5 years. This despite the fact that my videos are about Bible prophecy and the person who matches the biblical descriptions for the Antichrist described in those prophecies is not up for election anytime soon. Read more


A series of shootings in Michigan left five people plus a suspect dead Friday, police said, following an extensive search around two homes and a wooded area.

Is it a sitcom? Is it a Miami manosphere convention? No, it's Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate fanboys fighting for their freedom. A few blocks from the federal detention centre where the brothers are currently being held following their 18 July arrests, "Top G" loyalists gathered in Downtown Miami to demand their release, in a rather unique way. Footage soon surfaced online of a bunch of grown men (in 34-degree heat, mind you) dropping to the ground and doing push-ups as a form of protest. Ah yes, very Alpha. And if push-ups with questionable form weren't enough, they also came equipped with handwritten signs reading, "Thank you Andrew Tate for teaching us BRAVERY!" and "Tates are heroes"


It's hard enough to try not to remember

It's hard enough to think you know the reason
You make a list of things not to believe in It's hard enough to know your getting over that its over

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra have huddled inside their homes for days on end, unable to leave because of the threat posed by Israeli settlers. The Israeli military, which over the past three years has displayed staggering military and intelligence capabilities from Beirut to Tehran, has yet to fully remove the settlers from the area of the village, about an hour's drive from Tel Aviv.
